Townsville Race 12 - Betnation.com.au 5Th Grade H

RACCOON ROGER (1) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a win (21.65) there two back. Worth another chance. BLUE JET TRAIN (4) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from three starts. Comes off a (21.99) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 6 over 380m at this track. Can feature with the right run. COMPLEX THINKING (8) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 380m behind Made You Look (22.88) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Shapes as one to consider. BIG KELCE (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
